The Biggest Waffle Ever

Not too long ago, at a popular breakfast restaurant, I decided to eat something beyond my normal 200 calorie meal. I ordered super-humungous waffles!  The exact amount of syrup, along with the exotic flavor of the waffles made them supurb in taste. mmmm  They were so big I didn’t have to eat again for the rest of the day. (Note: I did eat again, but didn’t need to.)  You know how it is; waffles were empty calories. I was tired, drained of energy, listliss, and unconcerned about life all day long.

Such is the case with the lastest, super-sized waffling being committed by the United States and the European Union when it comes to preventing Iran from completing their manufacture of nuclear weapons.

I am convinced, and have been for some time, that Israel MUST perform whatever air strikes is necessary to slow or destroy Iran’s nuclear factories…before it is too late. I am convinced, though will be glad if I’m wrong, that Barack Obama is content with a nuclear Iran and will do nothing to stop them. Even Joe Lieberman agrees with me. Listen to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

“The US is committed to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and is prepared to use force to that end, but a military strike against the Islamic Republic would be ‘premature’ at this juncture,” Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in an interview with the National Journal on Thursday. “I do think the path we’re on – the economic sanctions and the diplomatic pressure – does seem to me to be having an effect,” Dempsey said. “I just think that it’s premature to be deciding that the economic and diplomatic approach is inadequate.”

WAFFLE…. sounds filling, smells good, tastes great, but is empty!

The banner headline this week came when the EU announced it had decided to place an oil embargo on Iran. Wow! Wonderful! Problem: It won’t be put in place until July 1st.  Israeli intelligence says that Iran is stumbling across the finish line and could have the first bombs completed any day.

Not to be out done, the Obama administration anounced it is ratcheting up its sanctions against Iran by sanctioning its third largest bank…..sometime in March.

Now, suddenly, Iran wants to talk.  Here is how Carolyn Glick of the Jerusalem Post opines on the issue….and she is right.

At the same time as the Europeans and the Americans  announced their phony sanctions, they reportedly dispatched their Turkish  colleagues to Tehran to set up a new round of nuclear talks with the ayatollahs.  If the past is any guide, we can expect for the Iranians to agree to sit down  and talk just before the oil embargo is scheduled to be enforced. And the  Europeans – with US support – will use the existence of talks to postpone  indefinitely the implementation of the embargo.

In other words, Israel is alone!  We know it. They know it. God knows it.

A Sad State of Afairs

http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/hub.1326407570.html

On a day when President Barack Obama celebrates the abortion deaths of 54 million children, Israel demonstrates its complete distrust of America’s leader, for the second time in two weeks.

The first exhibit was Israel’s cancellation of a joint Israeli/American anti-missile exercise just last week. Israel’s reason for cancelling the huge drill that would have prepared Israel for a combined missile attack perpetrated by its surrounding enemies?  The Israelis do not believe Obama is serious about preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons that will end up being used against them.

Now, Arutz Sheva is reporting tha, on his first official visit to Israel, new Joint Chiefs of Staff leader, Martin Dempsey was told this weekend that Israel would give President Barack Obama no more than 12 hours notice if and when it attacks Iran. The London Times said its sources explained that Israel fears that President Obama would try to torpedo an Israeli attack if more notice were given because he is concerned that Iran will respond by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, sparking a rise in the price of oil that could cripple Western economies. If the attack were to occur in the next 10 months, it would put President Obama in a tight spot on the eve of his bid for re-election.

For many of us who have been watching the President’s Middle East policies, this reaction by Israel is no surprise. The President has openly taken the side of the Palestinians against the existence of Israel. He has openly belittled the Israeli Prime Minister. He has refused to involve himself in a grassroots, democratic uprising against the radical tyrants in Iran. He has whole-heartedly supported the expansion of the Muslim Brotherhood as they orchestrated the take over of the Egyptian government, the Lebanese government, and now the ongoing attempt to possess Syria as its own.

The fact that the president is celebrating the Roe v. Wade decision that has killed 54 million children in America should make us stand and shout for new leadership. Trashing Israel will either accomplish that task, or bring about God’s curse on America.

It is time to wake up, if you haven’t already.  Pass this blog along.

Ezekiel 38 Coalition Solidifies

http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/hub.1326407570.html

As two American carrier strife forces move toward the Straights of Hormuz, the world seems to be chosing sides. Nations that had backed President Obama’s weak sanctions against Iran are abandoning the Israel/America ship and beginning to side with Iran. Sounds a bit like Ron Paul….whiney voice and all.

We have been witnessing the formation of the Ezekiel 38 and 39 coalition for several years, but the coalition is solidifying rapidly. Will a strike on Iran lead to one of the greatest fulfillments of prophecy in history?  I think so, but not immediately.

The following article reinforces the importance of keeping our eyes open to events in the Middle East, Bible prophecy, and hard work for the kingdom of Christ.

Russia: Attack on Tehran is Attack on Moscow

Russia has given Iran its bear hug and warns Israel and the West that an attack on Tehran would be considered an attack on Moscow.

By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Russia has given Iran its bear hug and warns Israel and the West that an attack on Tehran would be considered an attack on Moscow. The threat heightens the prospect of World War III in the event of a military strike on Iran.

“Iran is our neighbor,” Russia’s outgoing ambassador to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, told reporters in Brussels. “And if Iran is involved in any military action, it’s a direct threat to our security.”

Kremlin Security Council head Nikolai Patrushev accused Israel of provoking the United States towards war against Iran, the Russian Interfax news agency reported Friday. “But at the same time, we believe that any country has the right to have what it needs to feel comfortable, including Iran,” he added.

Rogozin warned on Friday that more attacks on Iran could cause “a scorching Arab Summer.”

Russia also has come to the defense of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, warning Western nations not to intervene in Syria with military forces. Russia is a major arms supplier to Syria and has a heavy investment in Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Japan also is drifting towards Iran, backtracking from its promise last week to back American sanctions aimed at persuading Iran to halt its unsupervised nuclear development.

Last week’s assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist has aroused more “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” protest rallies in Iran, where the scientist was buried on Friday.

Iranian state radio said the 32-year-old scientist was involved with enriched uranium, a key ingredient for a nuclear weapon.

 

Is the World Waking Up?

This just in from Vienna, Austria.

VIENNA (AP) — Diplomats on Monday confirmed a report that Iran has begun uranium enrichment at an underground bunker and said the news is particularly worrying because the site is being used to make material that can be upgraded more quickly for use in a nuclear weapon than the nation’s main enriched stockpile.

The diplomats said that centrifuges at the Fordo site near Iran’s holy city of Qom are churning out uranium enriched to 20 percent. That level is higher than the 3.5 percent being made at Iran’s main enrichment plant and can be turned into fissile warhead material faster and with less work.

The move was expected, with Tehran announcing months ago that it would use the Fordo facility for 20 percent production. Iran began to further enrich a small part of its uranium stockpile to nearly 20 percent as of February 2010 at a less-protected experimental site, saying it needs the higher grade material to produce fuel for a Tehran reactor that makes medical radioisotopes for cancer patients.

But with the time and effort reduced between making weapons-grade uranium from the 20-percent level, the start of the Fordo operation increases international fears that Iran is determined to move closer to the ability to make nuclear warheads — despite insistence by the Islamic Republic that it is enriching only to make reactor fuel. Its dismissal of findings by the International Atomic Energy Agency of secret experimental work on a nuclear weapons program also worries the international community.

All signs are pointing to WAR…yes, another war. Israel no longer has the luxury of waiting for Barack Obama to do something about the Iranian threat. However, giving Obama some modicum of credit, a massive US/Israeli military excersize is now underway in the Mediterranean Sea, with warplanes from both countries participating in refueling, attack, and long distance sortee training. Also, some 2,500 American missile and radar technicians have been deployed to Israel, indicating preparations are being made to protect the tiny country from the inevitable counter-strike against the Jews should either Israel or the US bomb Iranian nulcear targets.

This is a “stay-tuned” moment. The paradox is found in the fact that Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu are still at lengthening odds. They do not like, or respect one another. Obama has taken up the Palestinian cause without reason, and has thrown Israel under the bus on mulitple occasions.

So, what is this seemingly new stance by Obama to actually defend Israel?  Pardon me, but the only motive I can see is the coming 2012 elections. Obama desperately needs the American Jewish vote to win, and that vote has been steadily eroding. Is the President suddenly an Israeli backer, or is this a desperate attempt to stay in power?  You decide……by voting.

However, all things remain in God’s hand and his design. Israel, according to Bible prophecy, will soon endure two waves of attacks. The first may come as a result of a strike against Iran, but will be perpetrated by the countries that now border Israel. Oddly enough, most of those countries are now in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood, the father organization of Islamic radicals such as Hamas and Hezbollah. (Read earlier blogs to see the Biblical prophecies concerning this Inner Ring War.)

The second wave will be catastrophic, and will include Russia, Turkey, Iran, Libya, and the peoples of the Horn of Africa. Ezekiel 38 and 39 is the prophetic site. Read it.

All told, it seems like 2011 was just the warm-up to what is coming, and could come in the next few weeks and months.

Oh, things are fixin to get exciting!  Will the world wake up in time?   Probably not.
